TIE MOUNT ,AN'D CARRIER.

Appl-icationfiled June 18, 1924. Serial No..720,850.

To all whom itma-y concern Be it known that I, J oHNdVEsLnY WHITE,

a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Butte, in-the county of .Silvere bow and State of Montana, havewinvented certain new and :usefulimprovements in Ti'e Mounts and Carriers, of. which the following 1s. a speclfication.

This invention relates to annmproved neck tie mount and carrier, constructed of wire and arrangedv to provide amount by which a partlcularly desirable and adapt able form is givento the =tie, --and a carrier, in-theuse of which the .tie,:as arranged-on the mount, is held properly in place :in I all types of fold collars, and particularly soft collars of this type with aperfect simulationof the tie extending around the collar in the usual manner.

The improved tiemount and carrieriis madeup of various-parts connected in a uniform whole with the various parts resiliently connected to-insurea power set of the'oarrier with regard to any particular collar with which it may be used without inducingstrain on any portion of the col-' larand inthe mount portion to hold the knot of the tie under more orless tension,

to insurea smooth, even, and uniform appearance.

The invention is illustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which;

Fig. 6 is a broken elevation, the-for Tl' e'v improvedtie mount and' carrie'r is constructed ofa slng-le length Qfwll which is formed to present-depending V-shaped ing a tie of the four-in-handtypein posi--- legs 1 and 2, formed of divergent strands, with the inner strand of sinuous form at 3, and said inner strands connected at their upper ends by a coil l of a single wire length crossing at the upper end of the coil. These legs 1 and 2 form the means for attaching the tie lnountand carrier to the button of the ordinary fold collar, the

' spring coil e-permitting a spreading of the legs as may benecessary and insuringtheir proper grip upon the collar button. The

terminals of the legs are preferably turned I slightly outwardly and forwardlyto in sure easy applicationof the tie mount and carrierto a button withoutcatching into i the buttonhole of the collar or meeting other obstruction. The outer strands of the legs 1 and 2 are projectedlaterally at 5 and J such lateral extensions are terminally projected downwardly at 6 and formed into return bends 7 and projected upwardly to form tieband engagingv sections 8. These tie band engaging sections 8 are adapted to receive the loops of the tie inboth'directions beyond the knot, as will later ap ear,

and serveto hold the band portion 0. the

tie-extended in bothdireetions beyond the knot to simulate the effect of the band passing around the collar. Beyond the tie band sections 8, the material of the improved tie; mount and carrieris carried upwardly andoutwardly at 9-to form collar extensions,

these extensions including return bend lengths 10 and slightly divergent: relative to the lengths 9. The return lengths 10 of the collar extensions are projected towardthe lateral lengths 5 and are formed in-part of portionsll whlch aremore or less 1n parallelism with the tie band engaging sections 8. Theportions 11 are projected'to and-coiled at '12 loosely about the lateral lengths 5, the material beingextended beyond the coils toward the collar button engaging portion by means of lengths 13 whichdiverge with respect to the lengths 5 I from the coil'connections 12. The terminals of the lengths 13 are utilized to form the tie mount propelyand these lengths -13 are substantially in line with the collar but ton engaging member projected downwardly and forwardly at l l being intertwisted at 15 to form an appropriate length of tie mount, the intert-wistedportions being then extended 1n opposite directions in return bends 16 "carried upwardly in parallelism i with theiseeti-ons 14' and coiled about the tie mount and carrier but at a less inclina t-ion than the lengths 1 1. The lengths 18 terminate on a plane slightly above the lower ends of the legs 1 and 2 in forwardly projecting loops 19, the return sections of which loops extend upwardly as lengths 20 in slightly divergent relation to the length 18, the terminals of the lengths 20 being coiled about the lengths 13 as at 21 immediately adjacent the juncture of the lengths 13 with the lengths 14.

It is to be noted that the tie mount is made up of the lengths let and 16, which form a forwardly projecting portion in substantial transverse alignment, the tie mount also including the rear sections made up of the lengths 18, loops 19, and lengths 20, and that the sections making up this tie mount proper have, by reason of their coil connection about the lengths 13, a relative resiliency, which when the neck tie is looped about said sections when forming the knot, tend to exert a spreading tension on the'knot to maintain it in even smooth condition fdur- The tie band engaging sections 8.

ing use. have, by reason of the coil 4, and the resilient relation of the portions of the legs 1 and 2, a more or less resilient relation one to the other, that is, these sections may be moved slightly toward each other against the sprin resistance of the parts and tend to spread when this pressure is relieved. As these tie band engaging sections receive the loop of the band, it will be apparent that said tie band engaging sections will be in effect stretched following their application to the tie mountand carrier so as to hold the band portions of the tie which project on opposite sides of the knot in a smooth even condition. The collar extensions formed of the lengths 9 and 10 are of course resilient due to their formation, and may be thus caused to engage beneath the outer fold of a fold collar and readily accommodate themselves to therparticular character of this fold without strain,

In forming a tie on the tie mount and. holder, the tie is passed rearwardly of the tie mount and between the same and the collar button engaging portion and in front of the sections 11, back of the sections'8, and then forwardly toward the tie mount. The smaller end of the tie is passed beneath the tie mount but in front of parts 18 and 20, while the larger end of the tie in which the knot is to be formed is passed around the tie mount, that is, over the lengths l fand 16 and in rear of the lengths 18 and 20, and again carried forwardly over the lengths 1 1 and 16 and the free end passed. upwardly between the lengths 5 and 13, that is, forwardly of the lengths 5 and rearwardly of the lengths 13. This portion of the tie is then passed down through the second loop portion over the tie mount, forming the usual fourin-hand knot, as shown in Fig. 1. hen thus applied, it will be apparent that from the face view, the entire tie mount and carrier is concealed, except the collar extensions, including the lengths 9. and 10, while from the rear view, the collar button engaging portion and the lengths 5 are exposed. The knot indicated at 22, is formed entirely on the tie mount, and by reason of the downward and forward inclination of the latter, the tie is held at a slight inclination to the shirt front and collar, which is highly desirable in neck ties of this type. Furthermore, the knot proper is held under tension by the resiliently connected front and rear portions of the tie mount, and thus the knot is always maintained under sufiicient tension to insure it retaining its form. Those sec tions of the tie band which extend beyond the knot and embrace the tie engaging sections 8 are also resiliently held by the spreading' action of these tie band engaging sections so that these tie band extensions indicated at 23, are stretched in an even smooth manner to simulate the appearance of the tie band extending around the collar when the device is applied. Obviously, the

structure is connected in place by engaging the collar button between the legs 1' and 2,

causing the button to seat approximately adjacent the spring coil t. The collar engaging extensions including the lengths 9 and 10 are passed between the folds of the collar, serving to accommodate the tie mount and carrier to the shape of the collar, in causing the parts connected with these collar extensions to follow'the bending of these extensions as they ride into contact with the collar fold. In this action, the following spring portions of the tie mount and carrier yield to insure a proper set of the device without distortion, that is to say, coil spring 4, the V-shaped spring leading from 13 to about one-third the length of 1 1, lateral lengths 5 and 18 combined, coils 12 around 13, lengths 1 and 2, lower parts of 5, and sections 8, 9 and 10. Of course the tie band engaging sections 8 are located a suflicient distance from the knot to carry the band portions 23 of the neck tie beyond the collar opening, thus simulating extending the band entirely around the collar.

In Fig. 8, a shght modification is provided, adapting the improved tie mount and carrier more particularly for use with soft collars,-wherein it is hightly desirable that the knot of the tie should be arranged closely to the fold of the collar, in order to properly support the collar in front above the collar button. For this purpose, the modified construction involves simply an extension of the neck tie engaging portion, such neck tie engaging portion 24 being formed at the lower end of an intertwisted portion 25, which at the upper end is projected to form the lateral lengths 5 of the usual form, one of the strands however, prior to its projection as a lateral length 5, being formed into a spring coil 26 corresponding to and having the function of the spring coil 4.

The device is preferably constructed of spring wire, though obviously any appropriate material may be used, and the various sections, constructed as an integral whole,

are yet so independently resilient as to insure the best results in holding the knot in a proper form and shape, projecting the band portion beyond the knot in proper form and shape and l'iolding the entire structure beneath the told of the collar to insure conformity with the size and shape of the collar.
